From 40 to 70 year old vines, aged sur-lie for 15 months.

Green with pale straw and water white hints.  Delicate nose, though well delineated with white bread, oyster shell, sea spray, lemon zest and lime juice. Light body, high complexity, zesty, zippy acidity with long length.  Penetrating citrus, seashells and spray, and a long bready finish. Excellent depth, especially for a muscadet. At $11.99, a great value. 91pts.

  Phew... kickass wine. Chalk, yellow fruit, precision, personality. $12 and dollar for dollar one of the most satisfying wines I've had in a while. Awesome with blue point oysters on the half shell, clams baked in white wine and garlic, and even with instant udon noodles we made when we were still hungry. (92 pts.)

This is nice to know. I have a case I purchased a couple of months ago and have yet to crack one open. I'm still drinking the 2002s I purchased last year. They have actually opened up with more fruit since I purchased them. Very nice wine with seafood.

That's good to know Max - I think I might go for a case of this if it is still available from the retailer.
